Kuśamoda

Kuśamoda

Kuśamoda is a son of Bhavya, the lord of Śāka-dvīpa. One of the seven varshas of Śāka-dvīpa bears his name.

In Śāka-dvīpa

Lomaharshaṇa tells the munis that Śāka-dvīpa lies around the ocean of cream that surrounds Krauñca-dvīpa. Bhavya, lord of Śāka-dvīpa, has seven sons, and the varshas there bear their names: Jalada, Kumāra, Sukumāra, Manīraka, Kuśamoda, Modāki and Mahādruma. There stands the great Śāka tree, served by siddhas and gandharvas, and when the wind that touches its leaves blows, it gives supreme joy. The people of its janapadas, of the four varṇas, are without fear, without hindrance and free of disease.
